Fake Suit for a Fake Businesswoman

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

You guys, I'm not a suit person...like I have ZERO suits. So I have to make do for my jobs that have never required me to wear a suit. But once in a year is fun. Maybe not...because I'm selling this blazer! I just haven't worn it in a while but now that I know I can wear it as a fake suit, I might keep it...unless someone grabs it first...here.

I had a hard time figuring out what to wear this morning. I went to bed at 9pm (huzzah!) with my laptop open (I'm lame). But this morning I thought, "If you don't know what to wear, wear black and white." I know. My subconscious is so smart. Or maybe it's because I've been listening to a lot of MJ lately.

I don't really like having my hair slicked back. I look so...Asian...like a ninja. I assure you I am not.

These earrings are so ridiculous and heavy but I love them. I just need to hold my ears up every few minutes. But it's so worth it because I always look hot when I'm wearing them.

Beyond classy. This is gorgeous Elaine. I love the earrings (and I don't even wear earrings!) and that blazer is fantastic on you, love the pop of color with the heels too. And I like your hair pulled back- you look so polished haha.

So many levels of chic, I just can't stand it. I might have to copy something like this tomorrow because I love it so much. It looks very French to me, and lately, I want to look French. Like, I may have to start carrying a baguette under my arm.

omg i love this look on you! it's simple but soo chic, you look really professional but stylish too, not boring like some people look in suits. and the earrings look good with your hair pulled back - i wish i could wear my hair straight back like that but i feel like i look bald or something when i try to :PFashion Bag 411

I think you look great! Simple black and white with the pop of color on the heels, and those earrings are soo cute! They really polish it up. I think another color would be nice too... hmm how about a lime green thin belt? =PBellesme

My go-to colors always seem to involve black. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a color rut and other times I know it's because I'm a minimalist at heart. I've got some posts with all black and just a splash of color also. Sigh. I don't think I could ever get tired of something so simple yet classic. Wonderful outfit. I'm super digging it.

You do a suit proud - and have modernized it brilliantly. I feel you though...I'm totally ixnay on the suit factor. You look great - and those shoes really sass it up! btw-i dream of being a ninja. for reals.

I get the slicked back thing. I'm half Asian and HATE wearing my hair up. I have such a short forehead that it just looks weird. That being said, I think YOU look super chic with your hair up. ::shrug:: Perhaps we are too hard on ourselves.

I used to have these GREAT satin high-waisted suit trousers... Well they were my mother's but we basically share closets, and she almost never wore it and I LOVED those trousers. Then she gave them to a friend of hers who she thought would like them. Oh, sure mom, let's give away the coolest trousers we'll probably every own...

You look absolutely awesome in this outfit. I love, love, love everything about it - the outfit, your hair, the earrings and especially the shoes. Super stylish and sophisticated and yet cute because after all it's you!!!
